Rerun from March 2016 for Friday, Fictioneers Nov 21, 2026
Today is Sunday which I keep thinking is Saturday and then panicking when I realize it’s Sunday and it’s back to work tomorrow and I have piles and mounds of stuff still to do such as to sit and write a micro-fiction which I’ve been intending to do since Wednesday, I’m finally accepting the fact that just won’t happen. So I decided to recycle an old story which I don’t believe I’ve ever done before usually I just let time pass by and not participate in the challenge for that week.

Fiction/word count: 100 PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart When You Married Was a light snow falling when you walked through the streets that early morning to City Hall? And did the snow drive down as you said “I do,” so that when you walked out of the building as a married woman the snow was piled high in the streets? You shivered perhaps, and your groom held you close to keep you warm.

Exhausted, I settled under a giant tree. I prayed for sleep. A chorus of night noises and birdsong cried out. The wind blew through the tree calling to me. I began to climb limb by limb up the tree.

I am finally back on a Wednesday with a Friday Fictioneers story! It's been many months, and I am grateful that Rochelle is still here on the interwebs and hosting Friday Fictioneers. I've been writing in real life, but not online. They have been many false starts and failed attempts, but today I am here and looking forward to reading everyone's response to the prompt.

After late-night host Jimmy Kimmel had his show pulled Wednesday, and Stephen Colbert's was canceled, who the Trump administration might target next has been top of mind.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

I’ve fallen out of a routine with my writing. I’ve been THINKING about writing, I’ve penciled time to write into my daily calendar, I’ve checked out prompts and thought some more about writing. But getting my rear in a chair and doing the thing? Hasn’t happened in awhile. I missed Friday, again, but it’s a holiday weekend here in the USA and I’m sitting down to do this now.
